 New Records of Insects on Kauai 



BY <>. II. SWKZKV. 



On a recent trip to Kanai, visiting the sugar plantations, 

 several species of insects were observed which bad not hitherto 

 been recorded from that Island, and occasion is now taken for 

 recording them. In most cases these immigrants have not been 

 pnrposely taken to Kanai, their arrival there having hoen 

 accomplished accidentally thru conmiercial means, ('rro)iiasia 

 and Pscudugoiiafopiis being the only ones purposely introiluccd 

 there. 



Cremadiis Jii/niciiiae. This Iclmeumonid was found very 

 abundant at AVaiponli, where it was parasitizing the coconut 

 leaf-roller, Omiodes hlacJi-hiiriti Adults were numerous, as 

 were also the empty cocoons on the coconut leaves where the 

 leaf-rollers had s]mn u]i after feeding. One sjx^'imen was 

 bred from Cri/ploplilochia illcpida in a pod of Aracia fai-uc- 

 siana at Wainiea. 



Psa)u>noc]iai('s lurtiiosii.^. One or two specimens of this 

 Pompilid was]) were seen in the canetields at AYaimea. It is 

 now very abundant on the other Islands, but had not l)een 

 seen yet on Kanai. 



Pseudogonaioptis Jtospcs. This Ohinese Dryinid, parasitic 

 on the sugarcane leaf-hopper, introduced in liMiT, had not 

 heretofore been recovered on Kauai. It was found in cane 

 iields at Kealia and AVaimea. 



Helegonatopus psinidophanes. This hyperparasite on Dry- 

 inids was found at Waimea and Mana. 



Sarcopliaga hdciiiorrJioidaHs. This Sarcophagid tly was 

 collected at Kealia, Grove Farm and Makaweli. At the latter 

 place they were abundant on the cane in cane cars at the mill, 

 being attracted by the juice on the cane. 



Atvactomovplia crciiaficeps. This grasshopper was found at
